With Guillermo del Toro’s recommendation, I started watching Apple TV+‘s “Widow’s Bay.” It’s so incredibly good that I couldn’t stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. It’s packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayor’s tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from “Jaws.” The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of “Twin Peaks.” It’s been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I can’t wait for next Wednesday’s final episode.
Director Nicolas Winding Refn tells Charles Melton he has a “sexy body” and jokes that he “wishes I had his body” after the #Cannes premiere of “Her Private Hell.”

“Infinite Jest” is a masterpiece and a pleasure to read, Hermione Hoby writes. “Perhaps the greatest disjunction between the book’s reputation and its contents lies in the notion that it’s a pretentious slog no one could honestly enjoy.” https://t.co/lUYoAkCVXM
Matt Duffer revealed he had never seen Joe Keery cry until the final day of filming.
Joe arrived on set already in tears, and Steve’s final breakdown was not scripted; it was real. A decade of memories hit at once, and the Duffers kept it because it captured exactly how Stranger Things ended for everyone.
